Right on, Anglinarcher.
While I have been guilty of stringing a nightcrawler, the real key for me to catch LM bass a places like Mantua, Holmes Creek, and Hyrum is to simply commit to losing a lot of gear in the brush. That means I generally fish plastics instead of expensive crankbaits, etc.
Ned rigs, wacky rigs, and drop-shots were game changers for me. I've also learned to toss plastics (besides Senko's) without any weight into pockets and let them free-fall, twitching instead of retrieving them.
